[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1684267, member: 42497"] G'day and welcome to the forums. Even worse maybe, if you go into Apple System Profiler > SATA?SATA Express and select the Optiac DVD Rewriter, you will see whilst it is SATA II 3Gb/ps, the negotitated speed is actually SATA or 1.5Gb/ps. Think your SSD will only get the 3Gb/ps speed. Others with more expertise will answer, but I would suggest no, unless you can fit a power take off from the current hard drive SATA II connectors and run to the SSD.
